When managing multiple applications, it’s crucial to ensure your process is both fair and compliant with local, state, and federal housing laws, including the Fair Housing Act.A best practice to avoid any perception of bias or confusion is to process and work on one application at a time.

Would you recomend me buying out my lease, so I can start this process?

I know real estate is a long term play but you never know when you'll need access to that capital.There are turnkey companies out there that handle the entire process for you from top to bottom so it makes for an extremely passive investment.

@Anca R. and everyone, thanks for the shout out.To simplify the process the best I can, I'll address and break down each concern. 1.

Real estate is transactional where people are involved so it won't be a black and white answer.The best to do is to find an agent that fits your needs and guide you through the process.

If so, does anyone have any referrals to help me with the process?
